Reduce Interference

Use broadband connection

Set proper Networking Standard

The wireless networking needs to be done at a fixed networking standard. The 802.11g Wireless standard is the widely used standard of networking. While using the router to any group of computers wirelessly, not all the computers might be able to access the network. If this is the case, you need to update the networking standards by updating the Windows.

Reduce Interference

The signal fluctuation might affect the performance of wireless network. While using wireless system in your system, often your signal might go down or show very weak signal strength because of the location of the router. Often telephones, microwaves, or other appliances may interfere with the wireless signal, so try to keep wireless router away from these equipments. You might try to avoid obstruction in order to get a better signal. You might use a ‘Repeater’ for boosting wireless signals across greater distances.

Use broadband connection

If you are using the computer to connect to the Internet, then you need to use a broadband connection. Narrow bandwidth might cause issues in the network. You might opt for a DSL or a cable. This will boost the performance of the wireless network. Make sure that you connect the router, modem and all other computers properly.
